Great, now I'm going to get smirks and giggles from the cashiers at the grocery store.

You see I'm a watermelon man. I'm one of those guys that can eat a whole watermelon, all by himself.

Or, if they're on sale or if we are in the middle of a heat wave, I've been known to buy two or three at a time.

Hey, let me get this straight, I've been buying them because I like that sweet, refreshing taste.

Now because of this discovery (Watermelon Has Viagra-Like Effect, Say Scientist"), every old guy with a watermelon in his buggy is going to get ridiculed. 

I can just hear that arrogant 17 year old bag boy now: "Hey Mr. Loman, what's up?" "Do you need some help, today?"

Now wait a minute. This does explain a few things.

My wife is always saying, "Aw come on Willy, buy two, you know how much you like them. It'll be a treat for you."

Hell, last winter she had me driving all over the city to find imported watermelons. She bought two at $35.00 a pop.


Damn it, I am a watermelon man.

Whooee! $35 for wattymelons?!? Viagra's only about $15 a pop. Less bloating, too. No seeds, neither. Not as tasty, I'll allow.

Leave that little girl alone

As far as I am concerned the new MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau, is just great and the Cons, Libs and media should fuck off.  Who cares if she didn’t campaign, or lives 300 km away or that her french is weak, the citizens of Berthier--Maskinongé voted for the NDP and it was her name on the ballot and it will not make any difference in Parliament either.  If I was Jack I would put all of the kids right up front. Put them in charge of the young dippers, send them all over the country. I’d stick them on the committees, because what difference does it make. We just went through five years with the so-called pros and nothing was resolved by the opposition committee members. Besides, I can see them laughing at the antics of Baird and company. I know I would and think about the negative fall out when Baird tries his bully tactics on these young people. Everyone laments about the lack of youth vote, well these young people can change all that. Hell if I was the Liberals I would try and rent t...

Voting with my heart

-
Give it a rest Dippers, your partisanship has become even more obnoxious than the Libs around these parts for the last week and half. Now, strategic voting is considered a Lib/Con plot to hold back the NDP. Excuse me, there are 45 ridings that are in play, where a split vote between lib, ndp and green will give Harper the seat. In some cases we can prevent him from gaining the seat and in others we can take a seat way from him. In some seats the NDP candidate can win if the Liberal and Green voters suck it up and vote NDP. In others the NDP and Green voters need to suck it up. I live in one of those ridings, every vote that the Green and NDP voter holds back from the Liberal candidate in this election in my riding will help the conservative hang on to the seat. The differences between the con and the lib has been 300 votes in the last two elections. The NDP and Green votes combined equal less that 12 percent of votes cast for the last 2 elections. Get it, neither the NDP candid...

The perfect anonymous corporate serf

After working over 2,100 weeks, 11,000 days and over 88,000 hours I finally realized, two weeks ago, while sitting next to a pool, reading a book, on a hot island, that all my years of toil and so called achievements has made me into nothing more than the perfect self employed, self made, anonymous, corporate serf. Got the kids and their kids, a house, two cars and a wife, who hasn't left me yet, but I don't own any of it. You can't own people, even your family members in my neighborhood and the banks own everything else. So I continue to work to service the debt and remain the perfect TD customer. I just wish they had more of those comfy green chairs available, so I could at least relax when I deposit my bi-weekly interest payment. But, anonymously blogging as Willy Loman, even as sparsely as I do, is a real break from reality and great for my soul. I can anonymously rant and rave, bear my grievances, state my case or just have fun. Blogging is my way out from under, s...
